Great Details
Reviewed in the United States on 15 February 2008Verified Purchase
This thin book is surprisingly rich in detail. It is well written and does a very good job of separating legend from fact. It also acknowledges the situations where very little, or nothing, is accurately known about Tecumseh.

Very informative
Reviewed in the United States on 24 May 2009Verified Purchase
Very informative and interesting read, giving insight on Tecumseh and his Prophet brother which I had never been introduced to. I wouldn't say this is the most exciting non-fiction to read, but it's a pretty good book that gives on insight on Native American life and one of their long lasting leaders. This book dispels the myths and half-truths regarding Tecumseh, giving you the real deal.
